I am actually interested in seeing how the Aestheitc Romulus will be received by the reviewers? Aesthetix has traditionally started out with preamps and in the last two years entered the power amp arena with their Atlas amp. I believe this is their first digital product. They have licensed the asynchronous USB technology from Wavelength (like Ayre did with their QB-9 and DX-5 DAC and universal player). The USB input is able to support up to 24/192 file formats and with the asynchronous transfer mode should be very competitive with the other digital inputs. Also the analog, buffer and output stages are all tube-based, so I am interested how that compares to my ARC CD 7. It just seems like an interesting doohickey for $6K
